What type of information do you need?

Subject Encyclopedias

Subject Encyclopedias are reference sources devoted to a specific subject or field of study.  Typically these sources are edited by a respected scholar in the discipline with articles written by subject experts. 

Use a subject encyclopedia to find:

  • An overview of topics within a field or discipline
  • A list of references considered to be the best sources on the topic and good for further reading

The following are librarian recommended subject encyclopedias which you may wish to take a look at as you begin your research.  All are located on the first floor of the AUS Library in the Reference Collection.
